308SakoDugga Boy, I'm facing a move soon and hope that I can be as successful in the new display. Well done on some fine trophies. I'll bet you missed them while in transit!

shootawayWhat a beautiful room there in the second picture.I think you ruined it with your trophies because they do not belong in an outdoor type room.You must make a big hole in the ceiling and let the sun in or you wasted your money.Bad choice of wall color.Paint it all white.

bo-n-aroVery nice!!
shootaway.... I dont know about the sun you have in Montreal, but the last thing I would want in my trophy room is the TEXAS sun!!
Your bushbuck is a wonderful trophy and the zebra demands attention. I hope to add a zebra to my colection this next year.
Looks to me it was worth the wait.

nomrcyAwesome looking room!
Trophies are not dead animals...they are living memories.

jdsMy only concern would be the placement of the two impala mounts. If you use your woodburning stove, the wall above it would be out of the question for hanging a mount. The heat will ruin them.
The rooms look great! Definitely a place to sit down and swap stories.

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

duggaboybuffThanks for all the kind remarks guys, I did slightly cull a few older less atractive mounts and relegated them to the gararge.
To Shootaway, we all know you are a troll
(and a cock smoker
)
so I dont need your advice...
03 January 2007, 03:58
dogcatWay to go. Looks great. You now need several cats and a mountain nyala.

duggaboybuffcouldn't agree more, dogcat.... just got to convince the missus

Outdoor WriterDugga,
Great looking room!
Like JDS, I might be concerned about hanging the impalas over the stove. Of course, if you don't use it much, it probably doesn't matter.

Brother DaveThat looks great.....

riverman1Great room, great trophies. I would love to have an area in my house dedicated to the things I love.
Shootaway, you are a mooron. If you think trophies ruin a room, why would you hang out in the trophy room area so much.
05 January 2007, 20:51
shootawayTrophies should be used to make a room more beautiful.The room should not look as if it is used to store trophies.I think I once saw a picture of the Hemingway home somewhere in the south and did not see that many trophies inside,or so many guns to make it look like a gunstore.I hang out in this forum because for some reason it makes me laugh after I have a beer.

buffybrdugga,
Very nice display of a good mix of trophies, but where do you sit to enjoy them?

Bryan ChickVery nice, indeed, I tend to think of a trophy room in the same way I do a desk: An uncluttered desk, or, trophy room, is a sign of an unbalanced mind! yours is perfect. What is the animal on the left of the moose?
06 January 2007, 02:44
duggaboybuffBuffybr.. a dry bar with stools are in the pipeline, also a chesterfield lounge is going near the firplace/stove. I will post more photo's once completed.
Bryan... fallow deer is next to the moose.
cheers, and thanks for the compliments.

calgarychef1Being a lover of wood as well as trophies I really like the wooden arch you have. Nice job for sure.

shootawayFrans,I had to flunk you and your web site for lack of substance.You might one day be a great outdoor writer but so far I have yet to read a half good or any story from you.Why don't you give us here a nice short hunting story so we can enjoy.I think they are best with a female character included,that way we are entertained even when the action goes away.They don't have to be real,just don't tell us that.

Redhawk1duggaboybuff, all I can say is WOW. Very nice mounts you got there.
If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

Some non hunters have no clue as to why we mount trophys on a wall in our homes. Some are found on AR unfortunatly.

cable68Great looking room.
Is the duck a black, mottled, or some species from Oz?
Caleb
20 March 2007, 15:57
duggaboybuffcable68, its a black duck, native to Oz.
21 March 2007, 00:07
cable68We have them here in North America as well. Fewer and fewer all the time. Mallards interbreeding with them.
